Six Presidents Whose Birth Times Disagree
Jackson, William Henry Harrison, Tyler, Benjamin Harrison, Eisenhower, and Reagan all carry Astro-Databank's DD rating: dirty data, two or more conflicting accounts with no way to pick between them.
A Rodden X rating, the subject of the last post in this series, means nobody ever recorded a time. DD means something different and, in its way, more interesting: somebody did, more than once, and the accounts don’t agree. These six presidents all carry that rating.
The six
| President | Listed time | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Andrew Jackson | 7:35:57 AM | Conflicting quotes: “midnight to sunrise,” a separate 2:00 AM figure from astrologer Grant Lewi |
| William Henry Harrison | 10:38:52 AM | Conflicting/unverified, collector Doane |
| John Tyler | 5:47:42 AM | Conflicting, unqualified quotes |
| Benjamin Harrison | 3:17:42 AM | Conflicting/unverified, collector Doane |
| Dwight D. Eisenhower | ~3:00 AM | Conflicting/unverified |
| Ronald Reagan | 4:16 AM (current) | At least six candidate times have circulated: 2:00, 3:46, 4:16, 5:04, 1:53 PM, and 2:00 PM |
Jackson: two candidates, one chart
Jackson’s dispute is concrete enough to test directly. I ran both the listed 7:35:57 AM and the separate 2:00 AM figure through the site’s own engine:
- 7:36 AM: Manifesting Generator, Emotional authority, Single Definition, Profile 3/5
- 2:00 AM: Manifesting Generator, Emotional authority, Single Definition, Profile 2/5
Type, Authority, and Definition agree completely across both accounts. Only Profile disagrees, one line of difference, 3/5 against 2/5. A genuine data dispute here still leaves the two most decision-relevant facts standing.
Reagan: a morning-versus-afternoon split that matters
Reagan’s six circulating times split cleanly into two groups, and the two groups do not agree. I ran all six through the engine:
- 2:00 AM, 3:46 AM, 4:16 AM, and 5:04 AM all produce an identical chart: Generator, Sacral authority, Split Definition, Profile 4/6, Incarnation Cross gates 13/7 personality, 1/2 design.
- 1:53 PM and 2:00 PM produce a different one: Generator and Sacral authority still hold, but Profile shifts to 4/1 and the Incarnation Cross design gates shift to 43/23.
Unlike Jackson’s case, this dispute isn’t cosmetic. Every early-morning candidate agrees with every other early-morning candidate, and every afternoon candidate agrees with every other afternoon candidate, but the two clusters disagree on Profile and half the cross. Reagan’s currently-used 4:16 AM, sourced to his daughter Patti Davis in a 2002 interview, sits in the early-morning cluster; whichever cluster is correct settles more than the minute does.
The other four: conflicting, but without a second number to test
William Henry Harrison, Tyler, Benjamin Harrison, and Eisenhower each carry Astro-Databank’s DD flag without a second concrete competing time preserved in the record notes available for this post, only the description “conflicting” or “unverified” attached to the one listed figure. Run through the engine at their listed times, each produces a single specific chart:
- William Henry Harrison, 10:39 AM: Projector, Emotional authority, Split Definition, Profile 3/5
- John Tyler, 5:48 AM: Projector, Splenic authority, Triple Split Definition, Profile 6/2
- Benjamin Harrison, 3:18 AM: Generator, Emotional authority, Single Definition, Profile 3/5
- Eisenhower, 3:00 AM: Generator, Sacral authority, Single Definition, Profile 1/3
Reporting that chart honestly means reporting it as one candidate among competing accounts this post could not fully retrieve, not as a settled fact. A DD rating is Astro-Databank’s own signal not to treat any of these as more than that.
Charts computed against the in-house engine (src/lib/hd/chart.js, src/lib/hd/timezone.js) at each listed and competing candidate time. No cross-check against Maia Mechanics, Human Design Professional Software licensed from Jovian Archive, was performed for this post. Astro-Databank records: Jackson, William Henry Harrison, Tyler, Benjamin Harrison, Eisenhower, Reagan, all Rodden rating DD. This is a chart and a data-quality case, with no partisan framing or commentary on any administration intended or offered.
